Definitions

  • the invention relates to safety syringe for administering a medicament.
  • Administering an injection is a process which presents a number of risks and challenges for users and healthcare professionals, both mental and physical.
  • Injection devices typically fall into two categories - manual devices and autoinjectors.
  • a user In a conventional manual device, a user must provide force to drive a medicament through a needle. This is typically done by some form of button / plunger that has to be continuously pressed during the injection.
  • button / plunger that has to be continuously pressed during the injection.
  • Autoinjector devices aim to make self-injection easier for patients.
  • a conventional autoinjector may provide the force for administering the injection by a spring, and trigger button or other mechanism may be used to activate the injection.
  • Autoinjectors may be single-use or reusable devices.
  • a syringe in an exemplary embodiment, comprises a barrel, a stopper slidably arranged within the barrel, a needle arranged on a distal end of the barrel, a plunger coupling coupled to the stopper and adapted to releasably engage a plunger, and a needle retraction mechanism adapted to retract the needle into the barrel.
  • the needle includes a needle mount.
  • the needle retraction mechanism includes a needle seal slidably arranged in the barrel, an ejector ring slidably arranged in the barrel distal of the needle seal, and a needle retainer arranged on the distal end of the barrel and adapted to releasably engage the needle mount.
  • the stopper includes a cavity adapted to engage the needle mount.
  • the needle retainer is fixed to the barrel and includes a distal collar adapted to prevent axial movement of the needle mount in a distal direction relative to the needle retainer.
  • the ejector ring includes ramped distal arms adapted to engage and deflect ramped proximal retainer arms on the needle retainer.
  • the needle retainer disengages the needle mount and the engagement of the cavity and the needle mount allows the stopper to pull the needle mount in a proximal direction into the barrel.
  • the needle seal and the ejector ring include apertures adapted to allow pass-through of the needle mount.
  • the plunger coupling includes one or more resilient coupling arms adapted to releasably engage a coupling head of the plunger.
  • the syringe further comprises a finger flange having a release rib adapted to engage and deflect the one or more resilient coupling arms and release the coupling head from the plunger coupling.
  • Figures 1A and 1 B show two longitudinal sections of an exemplary embodiment of an autoinjector 1 in different section planes.
  • the autoinjector 1 comprises an elongate housing having a front case 2.1 and a rear case 2.2 which may be separated. While the exemplary embodiment shown in Figures 1A and 1B shows the front and rear cases 2.1, 2.2 as being completely separable, in other exemplary embodiments, the cases 2.1, 2.2 may be hingedly coupled together. In another exemplary embodiment, the cases 2.1, 2.2 may be separable along a longitudinal axis of the housing, as opposed to a transverse axis of the housing.
  • the front case 2.1 includes a carrier 14 adapted to hold a syringe.
  • the carrier 14 is axially movable relative to the front case 2.1 and is biased toward a proximal direction P by a carrier spring 26 which bears proximally against a shoulder 14.1 on the carrier 14 and distally against a ledge formed in a distal portion of the front case 2.1.
  • the front case 2.1 also includes an interlock sleeve 16.
  • the interlock sleeve 16 is axially movable relative to the front case 2.1 and is biased toward a distal direction D by a sleeve spring 27 which bears proximally against the ledge in the distal portion of the front case 2.1 and distally against the interlock sleeve 16.
  • the interlock sleeve 16 is adapted to project distally through a distal opening in the front case 2.1, such that the interlock sleeve 16 contacts an injection site during an injection procedure, as explained further below.
  • the front case 2.1 also includes a latch sleeve 18 adapted to ensure that the front case 2.1 and the rear case 2.2 remain engaged during an injection procedure, as described further below.
  • the latch sleeve 18 is axially movable relative to the front case 2.1 and is biased toward the proximal direction P by a latch sleeve spring 19 which bears proximally against the latch sleeve 18 and distally against a third rib 2.1.1 formed in a proximal portion of the front case 2.1.
  • Hooks 16.3 on a proximal end of the interlock sleeve 16 are adapted to engage a shoulder formed on the latch sleeve 18.
  • the hooks 16.3 limit extension of the interlock sleeve 16 relative to the front case 2.1, because the latch sleeve spring 19 requires more force to compress it than the sleeve spring 27.
  • a fourth rib 2.1.4 formed on the first case 2.1 abuts the latch sleeve 18 and prevents the latch sleeve 18 from moving proximally relative to the front case 2.1.
  • the autoinjector 1 includes one or more latch mechanisms for preventing inadvertent actuation of the autoinjector 1.
  • a first latch mechanism is adapted to prevent movement of the carrier 14 relative to the front case 2.1 prior to retraction of the interlock sleeve 16.
  • the first latch mechanism comprises a syringe backwards latch 17 pivotably coupled to a peg on the front case 2.1.
  • a proximal nose 17.1 of the syringe backwards latch 17 is adapted to engage the shoulder 14.1 on the carrier 14.
  • a distal ramp 17.2 of the syringe backwards latch 17 is adapted to engage a first arm 16.1 extending proximally from the interlock sleeve 16.
  • a proximal end of the first arm 16.1 may include a protrusion 16.2 adapted to engage the distal ramp 17.2.
  • the first arm 16.1 engages the distal ramp 17.2, the syringe backwards latch 17 pivots and the proximal nose 17.1 disengages the shoulder 14.1, allowing the carrier 14 to move axially in the distal direction D relative to the front case 2.1.
  • a latch spring (not shown) may bias the syringe backwards latch 17 in an angular position in which the nose 17.1 engages the shoulder 14.1.
  • the syringe backwards latch 17 may have a straight end instead of the ramp 17.2 in which case a ramp may be provided at the protrusion 16.2.
  • both the syringe backwards latch 17 and the protrusion 16.2 may have corresponding ramped surfaces.
  • the front case 2.1 includes a second latch mechanism for preventing movement of the carrier 14 in the proximal direction P after the injection procedure.
  • the second latch mechanism may include a resilient syringe forward latch 25 which deflects when it is engaged by the shoulder 14.1 as the carrier 14 moves axially in the distal direction D.
  • the shoulder 14.1 abuts the syringe forward latch 25 which has returned to its non-deflected position.
  • the latch 25 may include a lever 25.1 which can be pressed manually to re-deflect the syringe forward latch 25 when resetting the autoinjector 1, as explained further below.
  • the rear case 2.2 comprises a drive spring 15 adapted to apply a force to a plunger on a syringe in the autoinjector 1.
  • the drive spring 15 is arranged on a fixed sleeve 20 which is coupled to a proximal end of the rear case 2.2.
  • the drive spring 15 bears proximally on the rear case 2.2 and distally on a drive carriage 22 which is arranged telescopically on the fixed sleeve 20.
  • the drive carriage 22 is adapted to move axially relative to the rear case 2.2.
  • a plunger 11 is coupled to the drive carriage 22 so that the plunger 11 may be pushed in the distal direction D by the drive spring 15.
  • a proximal end of the plunger 11 extends into the drive carriage 22.
  • a plunger spring 12 is arranged within the drive carriage 22 between the distal end of the plunger 11 and the drive carriage 22 and is arranged to bias the plunger 11 against the drive carriage 22.
  • At least one radially biased, proximal resilient arm 11.1 on the plunger 11 abuts the drive carriage 22 and prevents the plunger 11 from translating axially relative under the force of the plunger spring 12.
  • a distal end of the plunger 11 is coupled to a latch tube 24 which is adapted to engage the latch sleeve 18 when the front case 2.1 and rear case 2.2 are assembled.
  • At least one radially biased, distal resilient arm 11.2 on the plunger 11 abuts the latch tube 24 and prevents the plunger 11 from translating axially relative to the latch tube 24.
  • the latch tube 24 includes proximally directed resilient arms 24.1.
  • a coupling head 11.3 having an indent 11.4 is formed at the distal end of the plunger 11.
  • the coupling head 11.3 is adapted to releasably engage a syringe, as explained further below.
